Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Everyone looked up.

Not far from them, on a reef, the space rippled like water, and Uchiha Yue, wearing a black trench coat, and Uchiha Hikaru, holding a short sword, calmly emerged from the shadows.

"Moon-senpai! Hikaru-senpai!" Yahiko and the others were both surprised and delighted.

"He lost someone important in that time and space, so he cowardly chose to escape and create a false dream. But he doesn't represent you, Uchiha Obito."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi and Rin quietly raised their heads.

"However, I don't have time to have a heart-to-heart talk with you right now."

The pattern in Yue's Mangekyou Sharingan changed, then a spiral vortex appeared, and Uchiha Yue and Hikari quickly disappeared.

Chapter 158 You Can't Keep Escaping Reality

Divine Power Space.

This is a dark, desolate, and lifeless alternate dimension.

Countless enormous gray-white stone blocks, like weightless meteorites, floated silently in this boundless void.

"thump!"

With a spiraling distortion in space, Masked Earth staggered and fell from the void, crashing heavily onto a huge stone slab.

"Cough cough... Huff... Huff..."

He reached out, his hand trembling, and touched his face, which was exposed to the air.

The jagged, bark-like scar on his right side seemed to throb with pain, a stark reminder of the extreme humiliation he had just suffered.

That fake... that foolish and naive past self actually pointed at his nose and laughed at him!

And Lin...

"No...that's fake...this world is hell, Lin is long dead! Long dead!!!"

He clutched his head tightly, trying to forcefully expel the images that were shaking his will from his mind.

Several minutes passed before Obito's violently heaving chest gradually calmed down.

He slowly stood up, reverting to his cold and ruthless demeanor.

Although he lost his mask, as long as he was in this divine space, he could regain that composure of absolute control over everything.

“Uchiha Tsukuyomi…you are indeed a troublesome monster.”

Obito wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a chillingly sinister glint flashed in his single eye.

"But so what?"

Obito opened his arms and looked up at the gray void, as if embracing his absolute throne.

"Buzz—!!!"

Before Obito could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size!

A familiar spatial distortion suddenly appeared in mid-air less than twenty meters in front of him!

"what?!"

Obito's cold smile froze instantly.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the space.

"despair."

A crisp footstep echoed from the purplish-black spacetime vortex, landing lightly on the stone slab of the Divine Might Space.

"This is impossible!!!"

Obito gasped in shock.

The Kamui dimension is his exclusive dimension! Apart from his right eye and Kakashi's left eye, there simply cannot be a third entrance!

"This is indeed a great place to escape reality—quiet, private, and... absolutely lonely."

A familiar voice drifted out from the vortex.

Uchiha Tsuki strolled leisurely into this gloomy world.

Beside him, Uchiha Hikaru held a short sword, his red clothes as fiery as fire, his eyes serene.

"How...how did you get in?!"

Obito staggered back two steps as if he had seen a ghost, pointing at Uchiha Tsuki.

His worldview collapsed at that moment.

"This is a very complex academic issue, and I don't really want to tell you."

Uchiha Yue did not rush to make a move, but instead looked at the legendary Kamui space with great interest.

He stepped on the cold stone slabs and sighed.

"Gray and lifeless, there's nothing but these monotonous stones. I thought that someone who longs to create a perfect dream would at least imagine a Konoha village full of flowers in their own mental sanctuary, or... imagine Nohara Rin smiling at you."

"Shut up! What do you know?!" Obito roared, his Sharingan eyes bloodshot.

"I truly don't understand the thoughts of a coward."

Yue spread her hands, her tone surprisingly devoid of sarcasm, replaced by a rare hint of seriousness:

“Obito, if all you want is to see Rin again and make up for past regrets, with the technology I have now, I can even cross the river of time and bring that living Rin to you.”

Yue took a step forward, looking directly into Obito's trembling pupils:

“What you saw outside before was the best example—that was from your past self, Kakashi, and… the real, living Nohara Rin.”

“Abandon that ridiculous ‘Eye of the Moon’ plan. Madara’s self-deceiving tricks can’t bring true peace to the world, nor can they redeem your past incompetence.”

Obito was stunned.

Hearing the words "bring the living Lin to you," and recalling the girl on the sea cliff who had questioned him with a sobbing voice...

A flicker of doubt flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.

But it was only for a moment.

The next second, the wavering in Obito's eyes was completely swallowed up by a force stronger than obsession!

"Hypocrisy! It's all hypocrisy and lies!"

Obito gritted his teeth and roared with a ferocious expression, "So what if you bring back Rin?! As long as this fake ninja world, full of war and infighting, still exists, she will be dragged into conspiracies again and killed again! The tragedy will only repeat itself endlessly!"

"This reality, filled with imperfection and pain, is beyond repair! Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi... only by slumbering all of humanity in illusion can we create a perfect world of absolute peace, forever free from suffering!"

Madara Uchiha's years of brainwashing, coupled with his utter despair of reality, have made it impossible for him to turn back on this path.

He stared intently at Uchiha Yue, who was closing in step by step, his brain racing amidst an intense sense of crisis.

In this Kamui space that has already been analyzed by the opponent, once you are entangled by Uchiha Tsuki, there will be absolutely no chance of escape!

"The only way... is to return to reality and lead him to the 'avatar of will' left behind by Madara!"

Obito made a decision.

Without any hesitation, the divine power of his right eye instantly exploded to its limit!

Space distorted again.

Obito abandoned this absolute safe zone that he was once so proud of and forcibly moved out to the coordinates of the real world!

Looking at the spot where Obito disappeared, Uchiha Yue sighed helplessly and waved his hand.

"As expected, they still won't listen to human language."

Yue turned her head to look at Uchiha Hikaru beside her, and shrugged: "Looks like the psychological counseling failed. Let's go. Since he's in such a hurry to run to get reinforcements, let's see him through to the end."

After saying that, Yue's left eye also rippled with spatial distortion, and following the chakra trail left by Obito when he escaped, the two of them instantly disappeared from the spot.

……

On the edge of the Water Kingdom, inside an extremely hidden underground river cave.

"thump!"

Space distorted violently, and Obito fell awkwardly from the void, panting heavily, his chest heaving.

"Obito? What happened to you? What happened to you?"

In the shadows of the cave, a pool of black mud slowly seeped from the rock wall, transforming into a striking black and white landscape.

There was a clear hint of surprise in Black Zetsu's hoarse voice.

In its memory, Obito, who possessed Kamui, almost never had such a disheveled moment.

"Run! That monster Uchiha Tsukuyomi... he analyzed the Kamui dimension!" Obito roared.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's half-black face trembled violently, causing even this ancient monster, who had lived for thousands of years, to feel a chill run down its spine.

They've analyzed the Kamui dimension? How is that possible?!

But as a master of the art of survival who had lived for a thousand years, Black Zetsu's reaction was extremely fast.

Without asking any questions, the pitch-black fluid instantly stretched out, enveloping Obito Uchiha's body, and was about to use the Mayfly Technique to escape into the ground!

"Buzz—!!!"

However, at that very moment, a vortex appeared in the space above the underground river.

Uchiha Gekko descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Obito and Black Zetsu!

The moment the moon touched the ground, it saw Black Zetsu.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Sage Mode, which he had been researching for many years, was activated.

A dark red immortal's face instantly appeared on Yue's eyes and forehead.

Although this was just an "incomplete version of Sage Mode" that he deduced in Loulan, it was enough to delay Black Zetsu, who only had the instinct to run away!

"Immortal Technique·Mingshen Zhenzhu!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!
